I think this song is about being in love with a Borderline or a BiPo1. Usually one who has experienced trauma, especially at a young age, are drawn to Borderlines with our "Fix you, then break ourselves trying, then break you", attitude.

Every time I hear this song, I think of the aftermath of my relationships for the other party. Not that these don't damage us, as well, but we're hard to be with.
